D'Addario NYNW059 Single Guitar String

NYXL Nickel Wound Single String for Electric Guitar

The D'Addario NYNW059 NYXL Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Single String in .059 gauge is a single replacement string from the NYXL series, designed for electric guitar players who need to swap out a broken or worn string or build a custom gauge set. Built with reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire and a round wound construction, it delivers greater mid-range frequency response for more presence and crunch to cut through the mix. The NYXL line is engineered for better tuning stability compared to traditional nickel wound strings, so players get in tune faster and stay in tune longer. Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility, this single string is built to the same specifications as the strings in D'Addario's full NYXL sets.

Who This String Is For

The NYNW059 is the right choice for electric guitar players who need a single .059 gauge string as a replacement or as part of a custom-built set. At this gauge, it works well as a low E or A string on standard tuning, or as a custom gauge for players who prefer heavier bottom-end tension. The reformulated nickel-plated steel and round wound construction make it well suited for rock, blues, and metal styles where stronger mid-range presence and crunch help the guitar cut through a dense mix. The better tuning stability also makes it a practical pick for players who bend strings aggressively or use drop tunings. Designed and manufactured in the USA, this single string is built to the same specifications as the strings in D'Addario's full NYXL sets.
